I think I have something like 12 Internet drafts at the moment, at least six of which are on these issues.
I don't write a draft on every proposal and far more people read the emails than the drafts. Often the idea changes substantially during list discussions. Since many of my drafts are now written by a computer, there is not a great deal more innovative content in the drafts than the on list discussion in any case.
